How It Works

EL LIGNO 2% JELLY is a local anesthetic agent. It reduces pain sensation and causes numbness of body parts by blocking the flow of certain ions (sodium ions) through the nerves that causes pain sensation. As a result, it limits the transfer of pain signals from the peripheral part of the body (i.e., face, hands, legs, abdomen, pelvis, genitals or where the medicine has been applied) to the brain which ultimately leads to loss of sensation.

Directions for Use

EL LIGNO 2% JELLY should be used under proper medical supervision. It is administered by the physician at the region where anesthesia is required. However, it can also be self-administered by the patients if instructed by the doctor. Take a small quantity of EL LIGNO 2% JELLY and apply on the required areas. Avoid contact of EL LIGNO 2% JELLY with your eyes. Your doctor will decide the correct dose and duration of therapy for you depending upon your age, body weight, health condition and sites where numbness is required in the body.
